Bethpage Ballpark and the Long Island Ducks have been selected as the host of 2018 Atlantic League All-Star Game.
The decision was announced following the league Board of Directors meeting where the Ducks formally accepted the opportunity to host.
“It’s a great honor to host the All-Star Game and festivities,” said Ducks president/GM Michael Pfaff. “We are looking forward to creating a special event that will be memorable for all that attend in 2018.”
The Ducks have twice before hosted the circuit’s All-Star Game and events, in 2002 and 2010, respectively. Bethpage Ballpark has hosted over 7 Million fans, over 660 sellout crowds and has led the league in attendance in 14 of the Ducks’ 17 seasons of play in the Atlantic League. Prior to the 2017 season, several ballpark improvements were announced by the club, including new LED field lighting, installation of a new playing field, suite level enhancements and more.
